Nice park with level sites on the far side of the runway. The restrooms were very prison like with the fixtures of stainless steel (no toilet seats). Make your reservations early as it fills up fast. Nice staging base for visiting the Saint Louis area. - boomerlee

We stayed at 5 different fam camps on our PCS journey from the west coast to the east. Scott fam camp was by far the worst. It's almost embarrassing this is a military establishment. The showers/bath are not useable. The washer and dryer do not work, they run but do not clean clothes. Trash bins were always full, no wifi, unlevel spots, no sewer hook-ups. I know bugs are unavoidable but they seemed over the top here. A little spraying would help some. Some serious maintenance needs to be done and managed up to military standards. Scott is a beautiful base... their fam camp not so much. - Ranger18

This campground has huge potential, however I think there is a management/outdoor recreation problem. It needs attention. The bathrooms haven't ever been updated so the showers simply aren't an option. We have to go to the bad gym to shower and the toilets are metal. Mold everywhere. Trash/recycle never gets picked up. The management of the spots is awful. We are PCSing and in a four week period we will move 4 times. They have people that homestead there that never have to move. Again huge potential just poorly managed. - Amanda Pelletier

We called ahead to reserve a spot. The woman who answered the phone did not identify the park when she picked up; I had to confirm that I had the right number. She quoted $25 per night and confirmed that they were big rig friendly. I explained that we were pulling a 40' 5th wheel with a long bed 1 ton truck, and that we'd need 50 amp. She said no problem, just to call her when we got closer. When we called back, she told us to leave a check in the drop box and take any spot we wanted. We got there only to find it is NOT big rig friendly, and it was dirty and ill maintained. With quite a bit of maneuvering, we were able to turn around and leave. There are a lot of what looks to be full time and transient residents there. We didn't think we'd stay even if it had comfortably fit our rig as it was a little sketchy looking. There are no pull throughs because of the very low power lines running throughout the park. I would not stay here. It's a dump. - Gogirl

STAY AWAY !!! This place is a dump with many issues. I plugged my 50 amp surge protector into the electric box and got a reading of 130V on one leg and 114V on the other leg. Surge protector would kick out often. There was trash everywhere. The fellow next door was living in a box truck that looked like it hadn't been moved in 10 years. Every morning he would sit in his bucket seat, which was positioned next to the water faucet, and wash up and do his dishes. We never saw the manager only talked to her on the phone. There was never anybody in the office. Did I say? ...STAY AWAY - john5079

It is duck season so you will hear some shooting in the morning hours. At night when 9:00PM comes you will hear the alert siren for the city, go off. This is because a child curfew is in effect and it is a reminder to parents to check and see where your kids are at. My stay was nice, then again I am working in the area (St. Louis) and was therefore not here to visit the sites. But for working in the area it was just what I needed. The interstate into St. Louis is very busy and adds about 20 minutes to the morning drive. But if here for sightseeing this should not be a problem for most people. With winter coming up, they allowed you to "underpin" your travel trailer to help keep pipes from freezing. All in all, I would stay here again if work was closer. - Maxflex

I didn't expect much in East St Louis, but this place is pretty bad. WAY overpriced for what you get, and you get to park in what is essentially an asphalt parking lot. Utility placements are at rear of sites, so obviously this place was not designed by architects who owned RVs. The sites are also pretty unlevel, which is inexcusable for an asphalt lot. There are no trees and no grass at sites. I would never, ever stay here again, or recommend to others. - Eagles Fan

I was unable to drive down the row my spot was on. Tents and awnings blocked the way put up by other RVers. The only way to get to my spot was to drive through other sites. There is no onsite personal to police the area. Talked to security from the Casino they said they would respond if it was a problem. But you had to use the phone on the wall next to the restroom and closed mini store. No help until you are in the park. The spots were to small for the RVs in the spots. I was one of the smallest and I was in the way both back and front. I did inform them my size when I registered. RV next to me broke their mirror off do to trying to get in their spot. Other RV were hitting branches do to the tight spaces. Shower had a soap slime on the floor and paper wadded up on the floor. Water and power to the site was good and site was level, but you are parked on asphalt. This is a place I will not visit again. - Buster52

We are heading out for a couple weeks and wanted to get to where we wanted to start our vacation sooner rather than later. We called ahead a couple hours to see if they had space, told yes, but EVERYTHING is handled on line. OK, this actually worked better than expected. We went to the website on our smartphone, reserved and paid, got an email moments later with our access code. We are headed west on I70, following the GPS you'll be routed around in what feels like a great circle, that is because it is! Watch VERY CLOSELY for Exit 2A! There are three exits closely grouped, 2A, 2B and 2C. 2A is in the CENTER and the way you are getting to it gives you very little room to merge. First pass we could not get over and wound up crossing into St. Louis proper! Scary as the GPS was giving us all sorts of dire warnings. However there was a semi coming up behind us so we figured if he was OK, so were we. Once across the bridge we very very carefully followed the signs back to 70 East and started over. Made the merge and arrived. The very last turn before the park is also not that well marked and you could wind up with a second circle. A lot of the roads are under construction so that may be a part of the issue. As for the Park itself, it is a very nice parking lot. paved sites, paved roads, our site felt way out of lever when we first stopped, but Level Pro said we were within two inches and the auto-level worked fine. Called the Casino and they sent the shuttle driver over to take us to the casino. The Casino is small, alt least by what I've seen. If you are familiar with AC or Foxwood or Mohegan Sun, this place is tiny, but you can lose as much money here as anywhere. Outside you can see the arch from the CG. we were advised there is a park where you can go to get a decent view over the flood wall, but then we were advised that one should not be in that area, which sadly is what we thought. The negatives of the area are confirmed by the locals. Sad! - blues traveler

I attended the bee conference in St. Louis. This was the closest campground to St Louis. The people in the campground that were managing were very helpful. - Paula Morton

Check-in was easy, but the price was a bit high for what they offered. We liked that the park was close to town, but the sites were a bit small and a bit close together. We did not have a cable connection, but air reception was good. The water pressure in the showers was also a bit low. Otherwise, everything was OK. The site was level. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was quiet and provided a good launching point for our trip to St. Louis. - John A Guderian

Many sites are long end to end sites. You can treat them like a pull through if you're not sharing it with another RV. Some are full hook up and some are just water and electric. Choices are limited near St Louis. We called 3 places in Fenton MO and they were full. This place is OK. They even have shuttle to the arch and other attractions. Nice little pool which looked inviting but a severe thunderstorm prevented us from trying it out. I would stay here again. Voltage is OK even though it was 100 when we arrived. - KyDan

Pretty handy to all the tourist attractions. Management is super - very helpful, both in knowledge and escorting you to your site. Some traffic noise, but nights are quiet (surprising for its location). The park slopes a few degrees, so bring blocking. I'd stay again when in the area. - eaf14131

What others have said, it is a gravel parking lot in the city. This is the first RV park that my motohome front tires were off the ground trying to get level. The sites in the middle are all very un-level. The sites around the outside are much more level. But they are all back in and if you want or need a pull through site, plan on having many leveling blocks with you. I reserved a pull through and paid the bill but was given a back in, even though they had open spaces. After some discussion I got a pull through. Only stayed one night. - weighit

This is a gravel parking lot, but it is very convenient to downtown. The owners were extremely nice and helpful. Pool area was nice and clean. Laundry room was great and the showers had a low water pressure, but we fine. - Kwanyen

The good part about this campground was the close proximity to St. Louis. Hookups were OK but don't expect TV, satellite or antenna. A good ol' boy runs the park, which is filled mostly with good ol' boys and fishermen. Had to chase him down to pay before I left. No amenities unless you want to fish. I'll look for something in St. Louis area, even if higher in price, the next time I'm in the area. - RVW Traveler

We were going to stay here but when we got there there was a pit bull and rottweiler running lose on the ground. Not the kind of place we would stay. - Big Benny

Despite its unkempt and tired appearance, we had a nice time here. The bathrooms are serviceable, ditto the shower. The fishing is great, though. It's not exactly "family friendly" in the same sense that cg's with playgrounds, trails, open spaces are, but it not anti-kid either. There are a lot of permanent residents, and those that we met have been friendly and helpful. We'd probably stay here again based on price and necessity. - Joann26

We stayed for two nights. Quick and easy check-in. Very nice shaded pull-thru site. The night before our arrival they apparently suffered some severe weather but we couldn't even tell. The staff had been working non-stop to clean up. Viewed staff continually moving around making sure everyone was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend. - FVFord74

This campground is located in an industrial area but it is very quiet at night. Upon entering the campground it looks like a normal KOA but the interior roads are gravel as are the sites. The staff are very friendly and although there are a number of long term campers, the sites are kept very clean. This seems to be enforced by the park owners. The sites are very close together divided by a grassy area where the picnic tables are located. There are a number of trees in the park so it is not wide open. If both units have slides, you do not have much room to sit at your picnic table. Our site was level so no additional blocks were needed to level the coach. The water pressure was fine. The price is $51/night without the KOA discount. This is at most a $35 / night campground. - USA by RV

The site was very level and the length was OK. There are no signs from the Interstate to show the route to the KOA campground or any signs to show how to get back to the interstate. The cost for this campground is too high when compared to other similar campgrounds and similar KOA campgrounds. - KiwiYankee

This is perhaps the worst campground we have ever stayed at. The sites are short, not level and very close together. The road is dirt and full of holes. There are permanent residents who don't think there is a need to keep their site neat or free of dog waste. This area the park is in, seems to be very unsafe and dirty. Next time I come to this area, I will find somewhere else to stay. - Ron910

Convenient to I-70 or I-55 and very nice for a one night stopover. Friendly folks at check-in, clean facility. Very nice area and close to St Louis if one wanted to visit the city. - dodgedan

This was just an overnight stop for us on our journey home. I'm not a fan of typical RV parks and prefer state or county parks even if you don't have all the amenities. For this reason, I just rated this site as "Satisfactory."

The sites all have full hookups but they are VERY close together. The sites are paved and many are pull through, which is convenient. The park appears well managed and clean.

The location is not walking distance to any restaurants or other services. - Ree Klein

The park offers weekly and monthly rates and is primarily used for longer term campers. Due to IL state law regulating mobile home and RV parks, only trailers or fifth wheels are permitted. This park is very clean, quiet and well run. The RV's are intermixed with the mobile homes and many of the RV's are seasonal or long term. The neighbors are friendly. The streets are paved and very wide and easy to maneuver. All sites are paved with water, 50/30 am electric, sewer. There are no restrooms or showers. All RVs must be self contained. The park is very convenient to shopping, entertainment and restaurants. Also, it is convenient to IL-255 for easy access to I-270 and I-255. All in all a very nice park for extended stays. - 15243
